BAGHDAD -- Militants with the Islamic State group publicly killed a human rights lawyer in the Iraqi city of Mosul after their self-styled Islamic court ruled that she had abandoned Islam, the U.N. mission in Iraq said Thursday.

Samira Salih al-Nuaimi was seized from her home on Sept. 17 after allegedly posting messages on Facebook that were critical of the militants' destruction of religious sites in Mosul.

According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called "Sharia court" for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to "public execution."

She was killed on Monday, the U.N. mission said. Her Facebook page appears to have been removed since her death.

I expect NOW to be totally silent.

Exactly so.

Just like homosexual advocates are.

Just like atheists are.

Just like anti-school prayer activists are.

These are the same Dems who side with Islam ALWAYS over Christianity and Traditional America. And they actually believe their own lies when they saw Conservatives are at “war on women”?

Except the human rights attorney who was killed opposing ISIS was also a Muslim.

But an apostate, every bit as worthy of death as any Infidel.

The “religion of peace” strikes again. Then, too...I guess one could argue that she is now “at peace”.

No - killing the lawyers is the first impulse of tyrants see Henry The Sixth, Part 2 Act 4, scene 2, 71–78. That was my only point.
